Description

The Cherokee people call this large southeastern fish Ugiidatli ("wears/has a feather"). Redhorses, including the Sicklefin, are also sometimes referred to as the "salmon of the south" due to their spawning migrations, size, and importance. Hear Indigenous perspectives about this beautiful, culturally-significant fish, the rivers they inhabit, and how to help support endangered languages by learning and using Indigenous fish and place names. Caleb Hickman (a citizen of the Cherokee Nation/biologist with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) and Michael LaVoie (Natural Resources Manager for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) are guests.
